A Warm Welcome to Tunisia

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that can captivate both adults and children alike. When I heard about the Tunis VIP Tour with its promise of exploring Tunisia’s highlights, I knew it was something I had to experience firsthand. Our journey began with a warm welcome from our driver, Omar, who picked us up in a comfortable MG car, complete with refreshing air conditioning—a true blessing on a hot Tunisian day.

Omar’s friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, and his knowledge of the area was evident as he shared fascinating tidbits about Tunisian culture and history. Our first stop was Carthage, a place that had long intrigued me with its rich historical significance. The drive took about two hours, but with Omar’s engaging stories, the time flew by.

Stepping Back in Time at Carthage

Arriving in Carthage felt like stepping back in time. We visited two open-air museums and an impressive amphitheater, each site offering a glimpse into the ancient world that once thrived here. The admission fee was a mere 12 Tunisian Dinars per person, a small price to pay for such a rich historical experience.

The kids were particularly fascinated by the amphitheater, imagining the grand spectacles that once took place there. Omar’s flexibility allowed us to explore at our own pace, and he patiently waited in the car, ready to continue our adventure whenever we were.

A Picturesque Journey Through Sidi Bou Said and the Medina of Tunis

Our next destination was the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said, just a short 10-minute drive from Carthage. The blue-and-white streets, coupled with stunning sea views, made it feel like a scene straight out of a postcard. We wandered through cozy streets filled with souvenir shops, each corner offering a new delight.

After soaking in the beauty of Sidi Bou Said, we headed to the Medina of Tunis. Omar recommended a local restaurant for lunch, and we were not disappointed. For less than €20, we enjoyed a delicious meal that left us energized for the rest of the day.

Exploring the Medina was a sensory delight, with its narrow streets, vibrant local shops, and lively bazaar. The flexibility of the tour meant we could linger in places that caught our interest, making the experience truly personal and memorable.

In conclusion, the Tunis VIP Tour was a fantastic way to discover Tunisia’s highlights in a comfortable and personal manner. Omar’s relaxed and informative approach made the day enjoyable for the whole family, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Tunisia’s rich history and vibrant culture.
